Habitat Resources We have been learning and reviewing information about five specific habitats: Desert, Woodland Forest, Ocean, Rainforest and the Arctic. We learned that a habitat is where plants and animals live. A habitat offers food, shelter and water for plants and animals. Each habitat has similarities and differences and is unique. Different animals and plants can be found in each of the habitats.
